ICC arrest warrant for Russia's Putin 'a highly symbolic move' • FRANCE 24 English

Chances of Russian President Vladimir Putin facing trial at the ICC are highly unlikely because Moscow does not recognise the court’s jurisdiction or extradite its nationals, FRANCE 24's Kyiv correspondent Emmanuelle Chaze reports. However, the moral condemnation will stain the Russian leader and follow him whenever he seeks to attend an international summit in one of the court's 123 member states that are theoretically bound to arrest him.

Does the ICJ have the guts to serve arrest warrant against the US and all NATO leaders and all those soldiers and the commanders who led them in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Vietnam, Korea, Japan for war crimes and human rights.

Come and get me never mind Catch President Vladimir Putin

[bcluett]

Considering if he moves anywhere outside his sphere of influence he'll wind up detained and extradited I wouldn't call it merely symbolic. He's no longer free to roam the world.
